What's the difference between the implied main idea sentence and the stated main idea sentence?

Answer 1

stated: The author states the main topic in the passage.
Like- Fishing is a neat sport. The author is showing that they are going to be talking about the sport of fishing.

Implied: The author gives enough details that you know what the main idea is, but they don't tell you directly.
Like:
The problem of how to live with children isn't as new as you might think. Centuries before the advent of Dr. Spock or the PTA, philosophers debated the juvenile question, not always with compassion. There's a quotation from one of the antique sages floating around in what passes for my mind which, for pure cynicism, could set a Montaigne or a Mort Sahl back on his heels.
"Why," asks a disciple, "are we so devoted to our grandchildren?"
And the greybeard answers, "Because it is easy to love the enemies of one's enemies."

Answer 2

implied is like questioning forcefully.
stating is insisting upon a decision.
the implied main idea sentence wouldnt be garunteed, rather questioned and suggested.
the stated main idea sentence is fact to the bone.
OR we can go for the techniqual approach.
"What's the difference between the implied main idea sentence and the stated main idea sentence?" two words are different.
